I know He delights to give the answer before the request is on my (our!) lips...(Isaiah 65:24). Still, I was tearful as I read the "Voice of the Lord" devotional in my inbox...

"The things you heard from me ...commit to faithful people, such as will be competent to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2)."

I had been getting confused, wondering if my leadings were just my own flesh, white-washed with Scripture and old quiet time learnings...

When one has embraced being "on the sidelines", "on the back burner", really - simply "being" - it comes as a surprise to be being called out again, with a newer focus, a newer audience. And where will it lead? I do not know...I don't want to "commercialize" the Lord and His ways, but that cannot be the reason to not venture forth at all. I have to come back to my old definition of success - "completed what He has asked, regardless of the response of others". Sometimes it isn't the inner critic, but simply our groping along on the path He has given that causes us to doubt!

Somehow, this post of Jodi's really ministered...I believe that He was saying His image imprinted onto me was the source of the leading...there is still "me", but with the + Him. My will and His rubbed together in this life I live...
